RIDE THE WILD SPINE OF PAKISTAN
GALLERY
HIGHLIGHTS
This isn’t just a ride—it’s a journey into the heart of Pakistan. From the bustling streets of Karachi to the serene foothills of Islamabad, small individual teams will traverse the country on humble Honda CG 125s, embracing the raw, unfiltered beauty of the land. With a GPX file as your guide, you’ll navigate through winding roads, forgotten villages, and ancient sites steeped in history—each waypoint offering a chance to pause, reflect, and connect. Whether it’s sharing chai with a local shopkeeper, exploring centuries-old ruins, or simply swapping stories with fellow riders under the stars, every moment is an invitation to discover Pakistan beyond the headlines.
Each day brings a new destination, but how you get there is entirely up to you. The route is yours to shape—whether you choose the scenic backroads or the faster highways, the experience is designed to be as personal as it is communal. Occasionally, the journey will stretch across two days, giving you the freedom to plan your overnight stops, meet locals, and uncover hidden gems along the way.






Optional challenges will be scattered throughout the route, encouraging riders to engage with communities, learn local customs, and embrace the spirit of fun and adventure. These aren’t just tasks—they’re bridges to understanding, laughter, and shared humanity.
At the core of this ride is a powerful purpose. Each participant will fund the purchase of their motorcycle, which will be sold at the end of the trip. The proceeds will go directly to Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan, which focuses on Disaster Management, Health, Education, WASH Program, Orphan Care Program & Aghosh Homes, Mawakhat Program, and Community Services. Alkhidmat operates not only in Pakistan but also internationally, currently assisting affected and displaced people in Gaza, Palestine.
By the time you reach Islamabad, you’ll have covered more than just kilometres—you’ll have built connections, challenged yourself, and contributed to something far greater than the sum of its parts. This is an adventure with soul.

ITINERARY
This is not your typical itinerary, or typical tour
In the evening, you will receive a destination for the following day; it is up to you and your team's ingenuity on how to get there. You will choose the route and roads to take; if you encounter a puncture or other mechanical challenge, it is up to you to fix it, either yourself or have a local shop repair it for you.
You will also be given a gpx file with optional points of interest along the way; some will be along the most direct route to your accommodation, others will not. It is down to your team to decide which, if any, you will visit. This is about encouraging participants to stray from the beaten, most obvious path, to connect with the local population, and visit places that few foreigners ever get to go.
You will ride light; all your luggage will be transported separately in our support vehicle. If you get stuck, you can call us to come to you, but the road is yours, and the challenges — mechanical, cultural, and personal — are part of the story, your story.
Karachi Kickoff
We launch from the southern coast with a local challenge into Hingol National Park, which is designed as an easy test of your resourcefulness and spark team camaraderie.
There will also be time to explore the city’s vibrant chaos, colonial relics, and coastal charm before heading inland on our journey to Islamabad.
Along the way
There will be many sights and experiences along the way, and you will find out what these are as your journey progresses. Here are a few to whet your appetite.
Hyderabad: Navigate the Sindh heartland, where Sufi shrines and bustling bazaars await.
Sukkur: Cross the mighty Indus, visit ancient trade routes, and meet locals in riverside towns.
Derawar Fort: A massive and historic fortress located in the Cholistan Desert of Punjab, Pakistan, renowned for its striking architecture and deep cultural roots
Faisalabad. The "Manchester of Pakistan," a vibrant industrial city known for its massive textile production and rich colonial history
Pākpattan, one of the oldest cities in It spans over two millennia, blending ancient fortifications, religious devotion, and cultural resilience
Lahore (Multi-Day Stop): Dive into the city’s rich history and cuisine: explore Lahore’s hidden corners, from Mughal gardens to street food legends. There will be a fun challenge to complete here in Lahore. In the evening, we will go as a group to the Wagah Border closing ceremony—an unforgettable display of pride and pageantry.
Islamabad.
The capital awaits, nestled in the Margalla Hills. To get here, do you choose to go through the salt ranges, the forested valleys, or the bustling towns? The route is yours to choose.
When you reach Islamabad on day 13, a Saturday, and on the Sunday, you will ride to the bike market where people from across Islamabad and Rawalpindi meet to sell and buy motorcycles. You will put your motorcycle up for sale and negotiate a price. Whatever you sell your bike for we will match it and the total amount will go to our chosen charity.
You will receive a GPX file packed with optional waypoints — ancient ruins, cultural landmarks, and local gems. Visit them all, or a few, and complete optional challenges to earn bragging rights, meet villagers, and deepen your connection to this misunderstood, magnificent country.
This is not just a ride. It’s a test of spirit, a celebration of culture, and a journey that gives back. The adventure is calling.
